A conventional serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Capitals are proportionally wide and well balanced, with clearly defined serifs and smooth curves; round letters like C and O read evenly without exaggerated contrast. Lowercase forms are sturdy and readable, with open counters and straightforward terminals; the two-storey a and g reinforce its classic text-seriffed construction. Numerals are lining-style in feel, with clear differentiation and traditional proportions.
Well suited to body copy in books and long-form editorial layouts where a consistent reading rhythm is important. It also fits reports, academic materials, and other formal documents that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy serif voice.
The overall tone is authoritative and familiar, evoking printed pages, institutional communication, and established editorial typography. It feels composed and dependable rather than trendy, with a quietly formal presence suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif that prioritizes readability, typographic familiarity, and a measured, print-like texture across paragraphs.
Serifs and joins appear gently bracketed, helping keep the texture smooth at text sizes. Spacing and sidebearings look restrained and consistent in the sample text, supporting an even color across lines and a stable paragraph gray.
